    It's not Trump who has the strategy. It's the people around him. 

     

    Who are these people that are taking down the establishment and giving the country back to the people? Do you have links or is this inside info from your talks with people? Stephen Miller thought spraying on fake hair was a good strategy, please tell me he’s not one of them.

    The biggest "conspiracy" in the world right now, and on this site, was the Trump Russia collusion narrative, which we have successfully shown to be a fraud with mountains of evidence to support it. If you tune into any number of mainstream "news" outlets, you'll hear that story be repeated as fact, without push back or evidence in an echo chamber. 

     

    You might find that reassuring and comforting to be told what to think, when to think it, and how to feel about it... others like to think for themselves, with evidence. It's messy at times, it's scary when the strings are revealed, but since the media has decided they do not wish to inform us anymore, just propagandize us for their chosen causes, it falls to the people and the individual to do the due diligence the media will not. 

     

    There are plenty of other sites you can visit to get mainstream news and views if it's more comfortable to your disposition. :beer: 

     

     

     

    They are investigating collusion. No one besides the most partisan lefties are claiming collusion to be a fact. Most reasonable people don’t think Trump actually colluded with Russia. Some are waiting to see the results of the investigation to see to what extent if any the campaign colluded. Saying collusion is the biggest conspiracy instead of your boy Q tells us everything we need to know as to where your head is at. At the end of this you are going to look like a fool for believing an incel troll like he’s a messiah.

    Why wouldn't this cause someone to question the veracity of whatever else is being reported?

    We should question the veracity of everything in life and take every political article with a grain of salt. That doesn’t mean we need to think every piece of news is false or intentionally misleading.

    That's my point.....nearly all of the news outlets have blown their credibility.

    Your point is wrong. News outlets report hundreds of true things everyday. People like you discredit the entire outlet because you don’t like their biased political hit pieces on Trump. Same with millions of people who hate Fox News.

    I hope they shoot at one of the Democrats and severely disable them for the rest of their life.  Giffords didn't get it bad enough

    Aside from Tom, Doc brown, Tasker and a few others this place has really turned into a cesspool and conspiracy forum. Jeff it doesn’t even matter if that was an attempt at being funny, you will always be an ignorant moron and no one will ever take you seriously.

    Forgive Gatorbait. He is a troll that has nothing to offer. You'll waste your time.

    Thanks.

     

    Was this response worth your time?  Congratulations, get a hobby or click on another url and get some lotion.

    Calling out your ignorance is one of my hobbies.

    I could hear and/or see boats for almost 30 years in the southeast (SC and FL). If it’s a Cat 4-5 I’m getting out of dodge! Less than that, I probably sit it out, but it can get very unpleasant. Unfortunately, the media makes a big deal out of the small stuff, and people loss sight of the reality of these storms. 

    I’ve lived on the eastern coast of Florida my whole life. You are 100% accurate about anything over a 3.

    When using anonymous sources, what is it customary for truth seeking journalists to do in order to validate their work?

     

    And, as Tom has pointed out, why did Woodward buck the norms of getting an advance copy to the White House?

     Surely you understand if a reporter outs his source by name he loses that source, right? I wish every article had to list names but that isn’t how journalism works. People lose and gain credibility over time by the accuracy of what they write. Woodward gained cred over four decades of political writing and it’s disingenuous to cast his writing aside because he shines a light on the craziness in the White House. The generals look past Trump’s deficiencies for the greater good of this country, but don’t think for a second they aren’t critical of the way he conducts himself both publicly and privately. And are we really worried about norms and customs all of a sudden? This administration does not follow that mantra, and norms and customs went out the window in 2016. I don’t know why they didn’t send a copy to the White House and neither does anyone here. You’re telling me the most powerful person in the world couldn’t obtain a copy of a book if he wanted it?

    Look at the timing of the release, coordinated with the NY Times piece, against the backdrop of the Kavanaugh hearings and the upcoming midterm elections.

     

    High level politics, conducted by the people who enrich themselves by setting global policy generation after generation, is not a coincidence.

     

    Combine that with the fact that none of his sources are first hand, but rather are second and third hand; atypical of hard hitting investigative journalism and... well...

    You’re connecting things without direct evidence they are related. Actually, he did interview people directly (first hand), with the agreement he wouldn’t name names. Those same people deny it publicly and admit it privately, which is the smart thing to do with a petty and vindictive boss. His journalism has never been questioned until now, by Trump and his supporters. Go figure.

    Woodward started as an investigative journalist, but has become little more than a court historian in an environment where direct access to the powerful (and all the trimming it affords) has replaced actual digging for hard stories in order to speak truth to power.

     

    Woodward has, over time, become absorbed into the machine that he once fought against; and the President has attacked that machine.

     

    Woodward is being deployed against the President, as such, because he is a useful tool to propagandize those who haven't yet come to realize that this isn't about party affiliation.

     

    It is about a President, the first of your lifetime and mine, who isn't a Washington insider, but rather is hostile towards them; and is attempting to tear down the corruption, and in some cases abject evil, which runs rampant amongst the government elite and to those they have given access as members of their royal court.

     

     

    With all due respect I think you are exaggerating things. No one deployed him because he does this for a living. He interviewed people and wrote about what they said. Does it really need to be any more complicated than that? Was he conspiring with the Deep State when he wrote damaging things about other presidents?

  12. Woodward has chronicled every presidency since the early 70’s and has written 18 books. To say he is a partisan hack or is out to get Trump is ridiculous. After dozens and dozens of interviews he wrote what he found and calls it like he sees it. I swear, if Trump and his followers would stop whining all the time and focused more on furthering his agenda and accomplishments, everyone would be better off. Trump’s insecurity and Twitter diarrhea is tarnishing his surprisingly successful presidency.

    10% drop in viewership is huge. I'm not going to do your work for you after this, but try this poll on for size:

     

    https://www.inquisitr.com/4519835/poll-america-responds-to-nfl-anthem-protest/

    I’m glad we like polls again. The NFL is a juggernaught and will do just fine. Saying the president has the support of the American people is still a stretch. People want politics out of football, but most aren’t going to stop watching because a handful of “pussies” kneel for the anthem.

    As usual, you fail to follow the issue. The President has the backing of the American public. As long as this issue stays alive Trump will talk about it and it's an issue that helps him.

    How do you know the president has the backing of the American people? Viewership went down less than 10% last year. NFL is still the most popular thing on tv. Your bias for the orange one is showing.
